I’m not to proud to admit that finding Mr. Right involves swiping right. Right? Welcome to dating in avocado toastland.
Here I am, on my first blind date, ever, courtesy of a smartphone app and my two annoying best friends.
So what is Chris “Fletch” Fletcher doing, walking across the room, looking at his phone like he’s pattern matching a picture to find a real person he’s never met before?
Oh.
Oh, no.
The guy I drop-kicked in seventh grade cannot be my blind date. The guy who earned me this infernal nickname.
That’s right.
Feisty.

Where Snow Doesn’t Fall: Part 1 is a witty, fast-paced sci-fi adventure that follows four teens—the Escapists—across two bizarre, parallel universes: the polished world of Edyn and the chaotic streets of Idyll. Kyle, Krow, Eric, and Yin aren’t rebels or heroes; they’re just misfits trying to pull off the perfect prank in a society packed with surveillance drones, teleportation tech, and aggressively unhelpful vending machines. Their pranks spiral into increasingly absurd chaos, catching the attention of Sol Esther, the prim-and-proper son of Idyll’s Prime Minister, who just wants a peaceful speech without glitter bombs. What starts as harmless mischief turns into an interdimensional mess filled with awkward fame, tech malfunctions, and unexpected friendship. Blending humor, heart, and offbeat world-building, this slice-of-life, character-driven story celebrates failure, resilience, and the reckless joy of disrupting the status quo—because when snow doesn’t fall, something else has to shake the world up.
